That is why, in the 21st century, one sees so many people in their teens and twenties at 1970s/1980s-minded metal shows; young headbangers who weren't even born when David Lee Roth was still singing lead for Van Halen or when Mötley Crüe started headlining soccer arenas want a taste of what metal concerts were like back in the day…
